David Wilder Arts
With a potent brew of humor, surrealism and kitschy Southwestern imagery, Dave Wilder's pictures have been known to violate natural law, refined sensibilities and the liquor statutes of certain Western states.

David Wilder Arts I've added something new to my sketchblog: Rants. This first one is about fame and fortune...

I am almost famous.Which, of course, means I'm not nearly famous enough. Sure, people buy my paintings and collect my prints. My name is known here and there. If you Google me, I'm the Dave Wilder that comes up on top - at least for now. ...

David Wilder Arts Got a good chunk done on my new piece "South of the Border" today. There are a lot of little details in this one, but a couple more days and it should be finished... If the painting gods cooperate.

Nah, I don't believe in suffering. I think the stereotype of the suffering artist is one of the worst frauds ever foisted on unsuspecting art students. To make art is to celebrate living. Let's party.

David Wilder Arts I like to get out on the road whenever I can and go looking for new stories to paint. Sometimes lightning strikes. Other times I don't find a damn thing. But driving, walking and getting out there in the territory always gets my idea machine going. These are pictures from those trips.

Thanks Sheri's mom! The hardest part about painting things like the Canyon is knowing what to leave out. Deciding what is the essence of the picture and what is just noise is the primary job of any artist painting a landscape.
